Rider Spotlight to @ligiamasab
Meet the SUELTALABARRA community: Spotlight on @ligiamasab
SUELTALABARRA family! Today we travel to the vibrant coasts of Brazil to introduce you to a highly experienced rider on the water: Ligia Masab , whom you can follow on Instagram as @ligiamasab . From Fortaleza, Ligia embodies the joy of every session in this kite and now wing paradise.
@ligiamasab: Passion and freeride from Cumbuco
From Fortaleza, Brazil , and with the famous waters of Cumbuco as her main spot, Ligia Masab has been kitesurfing for 16 years . This impressive career is a testament to her dedication and love for the sport that has been with her for so long.
Ligia's style on the water is Freeride , which means enjoying the freedom that kitesurfing offers, sailing and exploring the spot without being tied to a specific discipline, but always seeking excitement and fun.
Your team: efficiency and control for freeriding
For her sessions in Cumbuco, Ligia relies on equipment that provides the versatility and performance necessary for her Freeride style:
- Kite: Your kite of choice is the 8m Duotone Rebel . The Rebel is an iconic kite, known for its wide wind range, jumping ability, and stability, making it perfect for freeriding and enjoying a variety of conditions.
- Board(s): To glide across the water, Ligia rides a LITORAL Woodboard and a CRBN . These boards provide the ideal balance of control, grip, and pop for her maneuvers.
- Foil: Although her main style is twintip freeride, Ligia also explores the world of wingfoil with an RRD Universal Foil , demonstrating her curiosity about the new sensations that foiling offers.
A fundamental tip and a goal for progression
Ligia shares a simple piece of advice, but one that holds a profound truth for any rider: "Going for a session is always better than not going at all." A maxim that encourages you to take advantage of every opportunity to get in the water and enjoy yourself, moving forward no matter the circumstances.
His main goal in kitesurfing now is technical and ambitious: "learn to blind." This freestyle maneuver, which involves complex rotations with the board, demonstrates his desire to continue progressing and adding new skills to his repertoire.
It's an honor to have Ligia Masab in our SUELTALABARRA community. Her experience, passion for freeride, and constant pursuit of new challenges like wingfoiling are an inspiration to everyone.
